Alumni Meeting

Date:  Friday, October 9, 2009
Location:  Ritz Charles, Overland Park
Speaker:  Anne Guignon, RDH, MPH
Topic:  The Epidemics! 

Physical disease and social phenomena create new epidemics that transform how we practice. Toss out the myths and learn how a variety of problems can have similar impacts on oral health, delivery of care and treatment outcomes. Identify effective ways to work with some of this century’s most complicated patients. Get down to basics with news you can use on Monday.

• Working in pain? Playing victim or surviving your circumstances.
• Can you hear me now? – Maximizing moments with hard-of-hearing patients.
• Autism – Unlocking the doors, connecting and communicating.
• Soft drink junkies – Teeth, bones and body fat.
• Meth mouth – The addiction that melts teeth and destroys lives.
• Body art and piercings – Non-judgmental straight talk.
• Oral lesion detection – Failing to see reality.
• Xerostomia - The ultimate desert storm battle.
• Sickening facts – Tobacco, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis and celiac disease.
• Working with senior patients. Is your grandmother going to college or forgetting what she ate five minutes ago?
